now, under the provisions of the american health care act, and you got to dig and you got to really weasel your way around to find this, but there are abilities, as you know, for states to get a waiver from the provisions of this. if they get that waiver, they can also push people into high risk groups, and they can allow insurers not to cover those essential health benefits. so there are many people sitting here saying, look, this preexisting condition thing doesn t apply to me because i am employed and my insurer provides it. your insurer may if it is based in a state that exercises one of those waivers may be able to buy coverage that doesn t cover one of those essential health benefits, and you may find you re not covered as a result of this. donald trump just tweet aed a f minutes ago that, i m watching the democrats defend the you can keep your plan and your premiums will go down, the obamacare lie. this may end up being the thing we talk about for years, that
low as 1.1 million, we don t know right now but he continues to say it. and the reason they re saying it is because they want to build up the numbers so they can say see how many people we ve helped. for me, i think for a lot of viewers it is a question of honesty. right or wrong, good or bad, we expect the president to be honest with us. that is right, as a former white house speech writer, i m shocked how the stuff gets into his speeches. don t they have a fact checker there? either they re not calling hhs and don t like the answers or they re calling and saying it anyway. regardless, they re either incompetent or dishonest. he got the lie of the last year, and now he lied again on the obamacare. this is a guy who has lost the trust of american people and another obamacare lie continues. it reminds me of a certain person. you see, pinocchio, a lie
compromised, what some other experts on the panel said the other day, hackers are definitely at it. in 15 seconds, doctor, do you recommend americans logging on and putting personal information on to this website today? well, i think that it really depends on the level to which these americans need the insurance. someone like myself who already has health insurance i m not going to log in and put my personal information there. but if you re someone who is in desperate need of getting insurance coverage, then i think this website is an option although, you know, i ve been concerned about the security problems that we ve seen, even ones that have been easy to fix. bill: doctor, thank you for your time. for those most vulnerable, for those in need of it, that is a big step to take right now. doctor, thank you for laying that out. from baltimore. thank you, sir. thank you. martha: coming up ahead, dr. siegel will join us. he wants to tell us what he thinks the biggest obamacare lie
that is not obama. i am talking when the senate seats come up. democratic senators are trying to push away from obamacare right no you. hagan at north carolina had a disastrous call with reporters. not just that she didn t have a good answer it s the way they have very little confidence in the ability to defend the president at the moment. that is fine in the mid terms you can run on your own, however, republicans are smart. so far they have been placing a cloak on the democrats with a big sign that says, why did you repeat the obamacare lie? that s all you have to say. put this under their face. you built that? put this under their face. you built that. it is not just an indictment of a web site it s an indictment of the way of life. we talked about the last five
that if you like your current health care coverage, you can keep it, is just not true. now we are getting a clear fact of how many people it will be affecting. health care economist christopher has told the daily caller if it is in lamented, 68% of americans with private health care insurance will not be able to keep their plans. our next guest conducted that interview. jamie weinstein is here. senior editor of the daily caller. how does this compare with what the president said would happen? i would say this is almost like the new obamacare lie. if you like the health insurance you may not be able to keep it, but saying only for a very small number of people, maybe 5%, but that number could be as high as 129 million people. he says not all of them will lose their health insurance.
